“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”

And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.

Thank you for your interest in how we proclaim the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Proclamation is the Christ exalting preaching from the holy Scriptures. This is the pinnacle of the service around which everything else revolves. The preaching of the Word is preeminent in the worship service because God has revealed himself to us in the Bible (Lev. 11:44), we delight in the Word of God (Ps. 119), and it is through the preaching and hearing of the gospel that men and women are saved (Acts 2:37; Eph. 1:13).

At Redemption City Church, our practice is expository preaching through whole books of the Bible. Expository preaching illuminates the main point of a passage, neither detracting from nor adding to the author’s intent, and shows how it is applicable to the Christian life. Systematically going through whole books of the Bible allows our church to be instructed in all aspects of Scripture so we may be equipped for every good work (2 Tim. 3:16).
